Rubber to Gold (BTD6)

Line 33:

Rubber to Gold is an effective way to generate cash from pops between rounds 37-59 which can be maximized by clumping Bloons with [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]] to maximize pierce of each gold potion. Compared to [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]] Rubber to Gold lacks damage, but compensates with strong value against high-HP bloons. Both towers should be combined for maximum cash generation from pops. Every new Rubber to Gold Alchemist has diminishing value, so buying just one or two is usually enough.

For ~~income, its favored targets are Ceramics, which don't take much damage that would be stolen by the main potion, and give~~ the most cash-per-pop per ~~bloon. Its income generation is also decent on~~ MOAB-class if ~~combined with~~ blimp instakills~~, but its main selling point is against mid-game Ceramics~~. ~~It stands out especially against~~ Dreadbloon Boss Events~~, as its~~ modified rounds tend to have excessive Leads and Ceramics, which also favor its own [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead to Gold]] effects.

For the most cash-per-pop per target, Ceramics and MOAB-class bloons are favorable targets. Use blimp instakills such as [[XXXL Trap (BTD6)|XXXL Trap]] to gain the full income from blimps. Dreadbloon Boss Events have modified rounds that tend to have excessive Leads and Ceramics, which also favor its own [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead to Gold]] effects.

~~Rubber to Gold's~~ bloon property debuff is ~~weak and ineffective for its cost~~ compared to ~~buying a~~ [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]] ~~to directly counter bloon properties. Spamming enough Rubber to Golds will, however, allow group-popping towers to take care of dense Ceramic clumps for the mid-game, such as~~ [[~~Icicles~~ (BTD6)|~~Icicles~~]]~~.<!--i don't recommend recursive because~~ it ~~eats ltg~~-~~-> While~~ not ~~useless in CHIMPS~~, ~~Rubber to Gold is not recommended~~ for ~~serious gameplay, because of Rubber to Gold's extreme lack of attack speed~~ and ~~radius to reliably catch DDTs, especially compared to~~ [[~~Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement~~]] ~~which makes bloons take extra damage~~ and ~~also does~~ reasonable damage ~~itself~~.

The bloon property debuff is inferior compared to [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]] and [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]]; it is slow on the fast-moving DDTs, will not work on Bosses, and for midgame rushes the Embrittlement and [[Bounty Hunter]] are much more consistent to skip immunities and themselves do reasonable damage.
